[IP] re: Happy Thanksgiving

I had a heck of a time. I would bolus for what I thought was the
correct amount of carbos. I assumed 120g of carbos and I bolused
9.7units of humalog. Didn't work went low in about and hour, treated
accordingly then in about six hours went sky high had to bolus another 7
or 8 units of humalog to bring it down. I think it was the Pumpkin
Pie. Other than this not to bad. Wish I hadn't ate so much but is was
sooooooooo goood. I have no will power.

I hope everyone survived the holiday, and their BGs have returned to
earth.
I'm always amazed at how much insulin bolus I need for Thanksgiving
dinner.
It always seems to be far in excess of even large overstimates of the
carbs I eat--and even figuring in the conversion of turkey to carbs.
Based on my normal carb/ins ratio, I had to bolus for about 375 g of
carb.
That's a lot of carbs (even including the apple pie ala mode :-). I'm
wondering what others ended up bolusing for. Not the amount of insulin
(since everyone has a different ratio), but the equivalent amount of
carbs.
Did anyone else keep track? I know you didn't Sam, since you were too
busy
pushing buttons on your pump and opening your belt *S*.
